Unforgettable Safari with Blessing Safari
We recently had the most extraordinary experience in Tanzania, organized by Blessing Safari. From start to finish, the entire journey was flawlessly coordinated, thanks to the dedication and exceptional service provided by the owner Elbarki and the entire team.
Right from the planning stages, the owner was incredibly responsive and attentive. They patiently answered all our questions, ensuring that every detail of our trip was perfectly tailored to our preferences. Their deep knowledge and passion for Tanzania and its wildlife shone through, making us feel confident and excited about our upcoming adventure.
Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted at the airport and taken care of every step of the way. The safari itself was beyond our expectations. Our guides Zoya and Moses were not only extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna but also had a genuine enthusiasm that made the experience even more enriching. The accommodations we stayed in were superb, providing comfort and luxury while allowing us to feel to the surrounding environment. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met, from preparing delicious meals to organizing special activities that added a unique touch to our experience
The sheer number of wildebeests and reminder of the beauty and resilience of nature.
What truly set Blessing Safari apart was the personal touch. The owner made sure to check in with us throughout the trip, ensuring everything was going smoothly. On our last day, we were treated to a heartfelt farewell lunch, a gesture that made us feel like we were saying goodbye to friends rather than a tour company. The owner even personally escorted us to the airport, making sure our departure was as seamless as our arrival.
We cannot recommend Blessing Safari enough. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made our safari experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a truly exceptional and personalized adventure in Tanzania, Blessing Safari is the way to go.

The Best Safari Tour Operator we have ever used
We couldn’t be happier with Blessing Safaris for the wonderful job they did on our recent Tanzania safari. Five stars on anybody’s rating system isn’t enough. From the day I first contacted them to our final arrival at home from the trip they exceeded our expectations.
It has been a pleasure to work with Elibariki Simon on planning the trip. I’m sure we worked on this for nearly a year. He was responsive to my every question. I know that I contacted him at times that were late in the evening for him, yet he always responded quickly. He listened and understood everything I ever asked. He recorded my requirements and preferences. We made revisions at times. These were always accurately captured and rolled into a planner file that fully documented our trip.
We were blessed to get Mr. Zoya as our guide. Zoya has been guiding people in the Serengeti for 40 years. He is most knowledgeable and knows just about everyone out there. At nearly every stop someone was calling out his name, shaking his hand, or giving him a hug. He was entirely plugged in to communication throughout every part of our adventure by stopping to communicate with other drivers as we crossed paths. He knew where every animal we wanted to see was likely to be and demonstrated 100% success finding all that we asked.
Our trip started in Arusha, went to Tarangire National Park where we stayed at the Tarangire Sopa Lodge. From there we went to Lake Manyara and enjoyed a night at Manyara Secret. After that we went to Ngorongoro Crater and stayed two nights at Ngorongoro Serena. The drive from there is about 5 hours over very rough roads, so while Mr. Zoya drove the vehicle ahead of us, we were dropped off at the Arusha airport and took a plane there. We had four days in the Serengeti. We stayed three nights at Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge and one at Sametu. As we departed from our dear friend Zoya he took us to the airport where we flew to Zanzibar and stayed in an overwater bungalow at Konokono Isaraya. This was truly a magical experience that was executed without a flaw. This professionalism makes Blessing Safaris the truly excellent safari company that they are. I invite anyone considering Blessing Safaris to contact me directly if they need any further referral.

Just perfect!
We booked an 8-day safari with Blessing Safaris and are simply thrilled! Everything was well organized from the start, contact with Eli was very good long before the trip and we were able to ask any questions we had in advance. The trip was planned exactly according to our ideas and implemented perfectly. From the airport transfer, to the game drives (we saw an incredible amount of animals), the lunches (fresh and extensive every day), the overnight stays in the various lodges (one more beautiful than the next), everything was excellent, very personal and warm. I would particularly like to mention our guide Zoya. Not least because of him, his experience, his knowledge and his great personality, we will never forget this unique trip, thank you very much for that!

Incredible Experience 10/10
We had the best time ever on our 5-day camping safari with Blessing Safaris. Right from the start, Elibariki was so helpful, sorting out all the details and answering all our questions. Everything went smoothly.
During the safari, we felt like royalty. David, our cook, made the most delicious food, and Mosses, our driver guide, took such good care of us. We can't thank the team enough for such an awesome experience! Thank you so much!

Exzellent
You want to go on safari in Tanzania? Go with Blessing Safaris! Elibariki (owner and head of management) personally takes care of you - from the beginning of your ideas to the end of the trip. Going single or in a small group is the best to get the real experience of a safari and you can personalize your trip as well. Eli is eager to make everything happen so you can enjoy the most.
The small company based in Arusha has very good guides - I had the honor of going with Zoya, very experienced beeing the head of the asociation of Tanzania guides before he retired, sharing all his knowledge of flora&Fauna with you while on the game drives. He knows the Parks by heart and has a very good sense of spotting the wildlife. We did the classic route (Tarangire, Manara, Ndudu/Serengeti). Now is the small rain season, everything is green - but it makes the animals move. Zoya is also a very good driver, so managed even in the muddiest roads. We had it all - rain and shine, flat tire and broken fuse, lion families very close (could watch them for hours) and the rare rhinos in a far distance - so we were lucky and came across all Big Five....accomodation and food always were excellent, the tented camps are best for wild life experience.
You see, the stories go on...I stop here and stay Thank you again for a wonderful trip, support and guidance.
Our motto:
Never give up, stay positive and see through your heart. See you again. Asante sana!

Poor quality and lack of professionalism
-2 adults and 1 child. 3 days and 2 nights. = 1800 €
-They did not comply with the established itinerary.
The car did not work well and that was the reason they didn’t
take us to the north of Serengeti to see the migration. We ask for compensation visiting another places or returning a part of the money, but they refused.
-Three days driving the same roads…
-We felt ripped off and it ended my dream of a real safari.

Over the top and personal
We went to Tanzania for our honeymoon and Blessing Safaris made our dream trip a reality. Elibariki is incredible, he helped us create the experience extra special and made us feel at home right away! He even made a custom made wheel cover for the car with “Just Married” written on it! Emmanuel (our guide) was AMAZING! We connected right away and built a friendship now. He was very patient with us and helped us find the animals that we were looking for. He was awesome. After a few safari days we went to Zanzibar, which was also paradise. Blessing Safaris is incredible and everybody that we worked with was very nice and personal. I highly recommend them, they will make your trip perfect and be there for you along the way. We cannot wait to go back to Tanzania and plan a trip with them. Asante Sana!

AMAZING SAFARI WITH MOSHA AND BARIKI, I WILL REPEAT AGAIN
Bariki is amazing nice and fast organizing all the trip- I was travelling with my mother and my son and our guide, Mosha, speaks a perfect spanish. Also he is super kindly with my son Pol 7 years old and my mother, we love him! He was explaining very well the history, animals....we saw the big 5 and more animals! The campsite was amazing and we enjoy a lot! We went also in a trekking in Materuni the last day, near from Kilimanjaro! All the team, also the taxi driver in Arusha John, is super. Thank you an Namaste.
